President Eisenhower Given Calvin's Institutes

 

On this date in 1953, the Rev. Melvin Nonhof of Murdock Memorial OPC in Bancroft, SD, made special use of his time while attending a Presbytery of the Dakotas meeting. Mr. Nonhof traveled to the Summer White House at Lowry Air Force Base and presented to President Dwight D. Eisenhower a two-volume edition of John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion. Pastor Nonhof had obtained a letter of introduction from South Dakota senator Karl Mundt allowing him to visit the Summer White House and present the volumes.
